Chapter 1 groundwork continues

I'm still struggling with the content for Chapter 1 of Bewitched & Betrayed. I know what needs to happen, I just don't know how it happens (if that makes any sense). The chapter has to start with a bang and end with what I've come to call The "Oh Shit" Moment. And since it's the first chapter, it's got to be especially spectacular. Usually I have the first chapter pretty much done before I'm ready to start writing a book. Not this time, dang it. Oh well, every book is different. Heck, yesterday my brain spit out some ideas and dialogue that would go in Book 6 or 7. What the . . .? I'm determined to have my set up for Chapter 1 (for Book 4) and be writing it by Monday. It's gonna be a busy weekend.

By the way, I'm working on two surprises for you. ; ) One of them I have to get publisher's permission to post, the other is something that' s just too cool for words. I have a meeting next Wednesday to hash out some details, and hopefully I'll be able to tell you all about it then.

Saturday Fun Pic: My office is still a work in progress, and tomorrow Derek will be installing the new curtain rods for the curtains I made. That is, after we move my mucho heavy desk away from the window. We have a busy morning tomorrow -- grocery store and a vet appt. for Andy & Gracie (they're fine, just regular checkup stuff) -- so that photo will probably be posted later in the day, but I'll have another office photo for you first thing in the morning. Well, first thing after I've had coffee. ; )

Happy Friday!
